    No, it is not. Never does. :fearful:
    It does also provide entertaining fantastical nonsense, complete mistruths and often blatant lack of self awareness, which can lead to utterly hilarious diatribes.


    Indeed. Leading up to the RNRHOF induction I think we had a thread getting closed every other day there for a while.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Why? I’m a drummer. I do not enjoy Dave’s style. Never did. I don’t care about his personality. What’s so cringe about that? I’d say it’s more cringey listening to people praising him just because he happened to be playing drums during PJ heyday.

    Hate the way the songs have been sped up with Matt ! 
    Lmao. Another bad point. Do you really think If EV and the rest didn’t want certain songs at that tempo, they wouldn’t say something?i think we all know who’s in charge and it’s certainly not Matt.  Matt can play at any tempo, any time signature anytime. He’s a world class drummer.

    If that's the case why hasn't he written and sung a "Beth" type superhit yet?

    This is true.

    Funny how people jump down your throat around here if you say anything positive about Dave A.  I'm not a musician so I don't know anything about his drumming techniques or any of that stuff but all I know is that I absolutely love listening to those bootlegs from the early years with Dave A....so much energy and intensity.

    Definitely enjoyed the band’s sound during Dave’s tenure for the raw power, had fun grooving along to Jack, but certainly appreciate the evolution with Matt and his time signature.
